drank Caramel Matcha by Red Leaf Tea
78 tasting notes

Oh Em Gee. I MUST HAVE MORE OF THIS NOW!
Seriously, I have Read Leaf Teas open and am setting up an order because damn, this stuff is good!
I have never had matcha before and I LOVE IT. I wonder what the base matcha really tastes like since the caramel in this is AMAZING and powerful and the smell omg…

So yeah. I ADORE this tea. Cheri thank you so much for sending this sample.
The only problem is I drank like 16 ounces of it this evening and now I feel WIRED.
Uugh… I avoid caffeine before bed and I totally didn’t think of this as a caffeine thing but I definitely feel it haha. Now that I know, I will try to only drink it earlier in the day.

The flavor is a rich caramel flavor and something else I can’t describe that I imagine is just how Matcha tastes. I made it according to the included instructions for a hot latte. I made it with warm milk and added a tiny bit of sugar. It didn’t need much. It’s sweet as it is. I looooved it so much. :)

So! Yes. Will be buying more. Will be careful not to drink it before bed haha :D

I really like Red Leaf flavored matchas. I haven’t done a hot latte yet, but it’s on my list of things to do with my belgium chocolate matcha. I also want to try a matcha soda (matcha plus club soda) with my amaretto matcha.

I got a sample from MissB and it’s the best. And oh wow I have a soda stream to make selzer water and never thought of using it that way! Brilliant idea!

All those ideas sound delish. I’ve been on their site wishlisting so many Matchas. CHEESECAKE MATCHA?? I must try!

Cheri

Cheesecake is good, too. I’m all out right now. I keep hoping it’ll go on sale again.

Arshness

Haha.. I added like 20 teas to my wishlist on that site. >_<
I love their reviews thing tho. I will use it to get many teas. nodnod
First I’m stuck on their sales because they have a sample sale for $1.49 but I could get a large for only $2.49 but I could get TWO large and one FREE small for only 4.99 but I could get TWO large and a FREE large for only 7.48 omg I am in so much trouble.

Have you ever heard of how blending a frozen banana makes almost like an ice cream? I like to blend some of this with a frozen banana and make a caramel ice cream like treat (:

Arshness

I have heard of that. I wonder how it would work hmm. :)

Cheri

A lot of people add banana and have matcha smoothies. There’s someone else on here (name escaping me at the moment) who does mango smoothies for most of her matcha smoothies.

Loves tea, reading, music, art, video games, roleplaying, and spending time with her wife and daughter. :)

Ask me for a $5 gift cert to Adagio if you’ve never ordered from them!

As for tea, loves flavored black teas, herbals, and good lattes most. Green is hit or miss with me and I haven’t found a white I like yet. I like my tea sweet, no matter how much some tea connoisseurs turn their noses up at me for it. I love trying new teas and I’ll try anything once!

I noticed this elsewhere on the site so I’m going to post a ratings legend as well:

95-100 Favorite; This is one of my favorite teas. I will want to keep this in stock all the time. I will drink a lot of this tea. I’m likely to send samples of this in swaps because I LOVE it and want to SHARE my love of it with you!

90-94 Excellent; Some of the best teas I’ve tried. Delish. I will probably buy more.

80-89 Very Good; I liked it and would like to have it again for sure. I will surely buy it again at some point. Not quite “The best” of any category, but some good stuff to be sure.

70-79 Pretty Good; Maybe it’s just not quite my type of tea or not quite my flavor, but I acknowledge that it’s a good tea. I might drink it again if the mood strikes me. Not very likely to buy it again. May still recommend it to others based on their tastes.

50-69 Okay; I probably won’t buy it again, but will probably finish drinking what I have. It’s not bad. Not good… but not bad. I probably won’t recommend it.

50 or less Meh; I didn’t really enjoy this tea. I won’t buy it again and can’t recommend it.

10-0 I must have really, really hated this tea. It may have killed my puppy or absconded with my cheesecake. I’m pretty sure it killed Professor Xavier.
